Andy Brinkmeyer shares how engineering leaders and architects can use Rust to build failure-proof systems. Moving beyond memory safety, he explains how ownership, enums, and the typestate pattern embed complex runtime protocols into compile-time checks. Learn to eliminate entire classes of bugs, manage real-world resources safely, and maximize codebase robustness effortlessly.
In this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke to Sarah Wells about the relationship of governance to software architecture. Governance enables teams to work effectively by establishing procedures that minimize system complexity, improve security, and reduce repetitive tasks. Targeted checklists help engineers by reducing the stress over these procedures.
Itamar Friedman discusses how architects and engineering leaders can break through the AI productivity ceiling using adaptive multi-agent systems. He shares insights on moving past simple autocomplete to resilient workflows by integrating autonomous testing, intelligent code review, and robust arbitration. Learn how to govern agent communication and build a context-driven SDLC that scales.
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Gabriela Moreira about making formal methods accessible through the Quint specification language, how AI is dramatically lowering the barrier to entry for formal specification and model-based testing, and why defining correct system behaviour remains essential human work in an AI-driven world.
In this episode, Alex Zenla (CTO/Co-founder, Edera) challenges the "laissez-faire" attitude toward modern infrastructure. She promotes "spite-driven development", building software to solve genuine technical pain points rather than passively accepting flawed abstractions, as a philosophy of improving the world of software.
InfoQ's podcasts are interviews with the software architects, senior engineers, and team leaders who build and
operate production systems. Episodes work through the tradeoffs behind real decisions in
software architecture,
AI and ML engineering, and
engineering culture. Guests are practitioners
and QCon speakers describing what worked and what broke in systems they built.
The InfoQ Podcast
About this Podcast
Interviews with the software architects and senior engineers who build and run production systems. Each episode works through the tradeoffs behind a real decision in architecture, AI engineering, and development.
What makes QCon software conferences stand out from other events? The top reason has to be the content, which focuses on innovator and early adopter trends, and presenters who are expert practitioners, sharing their real-world stories.
In this podcast, Srini Penchikala spoke with Dan Benjamin, the CEO of Dig Security, on three main topics: Cloud Data Security, Data Security Posture Management, Data Detection and Response (DDR).
Today on the InfoQ Podcast, Wes Reisz speaks withColin McCabe about Apache Kafka’s KRaft mode. KRaft mode is the new operating mode of Apache Kafka released with 3.3.1 and is the new target architecture for Kafka metadata (the current roadmap will completely deprecate Zookeeper in Kafka in the 4.0 release). On the podcast, Wes and Colin discuss KRaft mode and what it means for the Kafka ecosystem.
GraphQL can be a great choice for client to server communication, but it requires investment to maximize its potential. Netflix operates a very large, Federated GraphQL platform. Like any distributed system, this has some benefits, but also creates additional challenges. In this episode, Tejas Shikhare explains the pros and cons of scaling GraphQL adoption.
Everyone likes the idea of building something new. So much freedom. But what about making changes after you have users? In this episode, Thomas Betts talks with Brandon Byars about how you can evolve your API without versioning, a topic he spoke about at QCon San Francisco.
Conversations on building intentional engineering culture: team dynamics, leadership, and software management. For engineering leaders, managers, and the developers they support.
